    I pulled the bladder out of the accumulator to look for and identifiers to manufacturer. The only id I found was a “AHS” on the inside of the bladder. There are many companies that may use this acronym. The search is on.

    There is a time out on the log in.

    We do that because if a computer with public access is used and the member forgets to log out someone who is not a member can access the site forum.

    What kind of adjustable pressure air regulator can you find that lets you adjust to around 40 on to 80 off?

    I talked to Michael Moore and he has XL window single or double pane, clear or tinted.

    complete set of single pane $299 clear, $349 tinted

    set of Dual pane $599 clear and $699 tinted

    boxing charge of $20 plus shipping. For me he said shipping from GA to OR would be around $90.

    There is no question that it takes money to properly maintain a Prevost conversion. They are all comprised of components and systems that wear out, age out, and just need attention.

    Having said that however I have learned the cheapest way to own a Prevost is to bite the bullet and get it in as close to new condition as possible as fast as possible and then from that point on keep it in the best condition possible by never deferring maintenance.

    The wallet ends up pretty empty when a coach is “zeroed” out, but for quite a few years the cost of maintenance amounts to little more than grease and oil changes.

    Having watched conventional RV owners, especially 5th wheel owners in RV parks for 28 years I cannot imagine ever going from a Prevost to one. Even if I ignore the safety aspects it is apparent the units I see are all relatively new which suggests strongly as they age they don’t do very well. I bet the real cost of ownership of other than a Prevost is substantial. Consider the cost of ownership of a 20 year old Prevost including its very modest depreciation. Then consider what it is going to cost for an alternative especially considering almost every conventional RV has almost no value after a short period of time. I have a friend with one and for 3 years he has been struggling with maintenance issues that are beyond belief and shitty service.

    If there is an air leak, it will give false readings, generally lower than it is, otherwise it just needs to be recalibrated. Easy with the instructions.
